Chapter 292 Final Chapter (Volume II)

The night was getting darker and darker, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and no moonlight was exposed, as if the moon couldn't bear to look at the cruel picture.

The sound of shelling is roaring, and the light flashes from time to time in the night, the sound of shelling and the color of shells. It's like lightning and thunder, deafening and dazzling.

After a few hours, the Qing army finally couldn't stand the defeat and began to defeat. After all, Liu Xia's artillery was not in vain. Although it was still in a primitive state, it could be said that it was very advanced than the cannon in red.

This is a war between hot weapons and cold weapons. Musket and artillery went to the battlefield and shot and slaughtered the Qing army side by side. Many muskets are softened and scrapped due to the continuous use of the field. However, this did not make the soldiers put down the slaughter of the Qing army.

Liu Xia's participation and the participation of the old army of the Tiger Brigade made the Qing army obviously unable to support the multiple rounds of artillery and musket bombing. In the end, Dorgom roared, picked up the whip and slapped the sitting war horse, and left angrily.

And Na Duoduo also followed, leading the Eight Banners Alliance of less than 10,000, and left in a hurry. The Qing army lost more than 6,000 to 7,000 people this time, but the losses of the Pingbei army were even greater. The 8,000 soldiers and horses of the Storm Bear Brigade are less than half at this moment, and there are only more than 3,000 people left. It is not an excessive to say that the whole army has been destroyed.

As for Feng Xiangwei, which is slightly better, there are more than 3,000 people left at this moment, and most of them are scarred. Some people are seriously injured. With the current medical level, it is impossible to save them at all. What's more, it is summer at this time, which is the period of high transmission of viruses and bacteria. Many soldiers will die from the spread of bacteria.

And the Longhuawei led by the Niu Dynasty, although he went relatively late, due to the limitation of combat effectiveness, the casualties were also heavy. The 5,000 soldiers and horses were less than 3,000, leaving only more than 2,000 people. Not even half of it is gone, which makes Niu Chao very sad.

As for the Hu Ben Brigade, it did not suffer much loss. But these have greatly damaged Liu Xia's vitality and suffered heavy losses.

After Duoduo and Dorgun led the soldiers and horses to leave, they ran a hundred miles to stop and camp. When it was early in the morning of the next day, they set out to return to Beijing. Dornon hurriedly deployed several lines of defense to prevent Liu Xia from leading the artillery to attack. This battle also made Dorgun really realize the musket. The power of artillery.

To this end, Dorgun quickly gathered a large number of craftsmen to build muskets, hoping to win back the disadvantage of Liu Xia's weapons. But where will these craftsmen make Liu Xia's mature things after several years? And there is still no sample. However, Dorcon did not give up, and still kept urging and even threatening craftsmen with his life. This is a later story, and I won't mention it for the time being.

After Liu Xia defeated Dorcon, he did not rush to track him, but he also spread a large number of scout monitoring and tracking. Dorgun's defeat means that a large amount of land in Hebei will be owned by Liu Xia. On the vast land of Shandong, Hebei, the control of the Qing army is only the Jinan Mansion in Shandong. Once the nail in Jinan Prefecture is pulled out, Liu Xia can rest assured that Dorgom will be blocked in Beijing and can't get out.

On the second day, Liu Xia listed all the soldiers who died in the battle and recognized them. Then the order sent the roster to Luoyang and handed it to Wang En to deal with the afterth.

At the same time, in order to prevent the rot of the corpses and cause the plague infection in the hot weather, Liu Xia then ordered people to cremate the bones of these soldiers, put them into special urns, and transport them back to the War Soul Mausoleum outside Luoyang City for burial. They will enjoy the worship of the people for generations.

During the same period, Ma Bao in the south successfully defeated Sun Kewang from Sichuan and recaptured Guizhou. Sun Kewang did not dare to go back directly, so he ran to Yunnan with thousands of defeated soldiers. At this moment, Yunnan is under the control of Li Dingguo. Both of them are generals in Sichuan. Naturally, Li Dingguo will not exclude him. .

Sun Kewang actually rescued soldiers from Li Dingguo. He knew in his heart that now that Li Dingguo has managed Yunnan in an orderly manner, which will certainly make Zhang Xianzhong happy and admire him. Not only did he lose Guizhou, but also lost all his soldiers and horses. If he returned to Sichuan at this moment, according to Zhang Xianzhong's temper, he was likely to lose his head.

Li Dingguo naturally agreed to Sun Kewang's request for help. After arranging things in Yunnan, Li Dingguo led his army to Guizhou.

Similarly, due to the wars in Guizhou and Yunnan, Wu Sangui has no ability to transfer troops from other places to Xiangyang and Yingshan, and also sends troops to counter-aid from time to time.

He was naturally angry at the two generals sent by Zhang Xianzhong to attack his Guizhou and Yunnan. He swore heavily in front of the generals and soldiers that he would make Zhang Xianzhong look good.

A few days later, Ma Bao and Li Dingguo finally met. Li Dingguo was a peerless general. In fact, could Ma Bao deal with it? Soon Ma Bao was beaten and retreated, and every time Li Dingguo came to Yunnan, he opened a warehouse to release grain to stabilize the people. In this way, the people of Guizhou heard that it was Li Dingguo's army that came one after another, and instead of telling Ma Bao, they surrendered to Li Dingguo's arms.

After several days of war, Ma Bao was defeated in a mess, and the war even burned to Wu Sangui's Laochaohu Guangcheng's announcement of the political envoy, which shocked Wu Sangui. So regardless of the war in the north, he transferred a large number of soldiers and horses from Xiangyang and Yingshan to Guizhou, and he took command himself. Of course, before leaving, he naturally ordered the soldiers to guard Xiangyang and Yingshan well and not to lose them.

At the time of the war in the south, the Nanming court in Nanzhili had never made any movement, and it was still singing and dancing, as if the world was peaceful. And the two daughters, Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan, who were lost on the banks of the Qinhuai River, had no clue how the old lady sent someone to look for them, as if they had disappeared from the world.

Nanming now closely controls the southern part of Jiangsu, the whole territory of Zhejiang and a small part of the eastern part of Anhui on the current map. Although Fujian in Nanming is nominally obeying the emperor's order at this moment, it is actually self-contained, neither listening to the tune nor the propaganda. The person in power in Fujian is Zheng Zhilong.

People familiar with history know that Zheng Zhilong is the father of Zheng Chenggong, a famous figure in Chinese history. He is not only the admiral of Fujian, but also a famous pirate all over the world. Extraordinary strength and superior force.

After Wu Sangui left Yingshan and took away some of Xiangyang's soldiers and horses, Chen Liu of Xinyang secretly dispatched troops to eat Wu Sangui's territory south of the Yangtze River. This was also Liu Xia's order to keep Wu Sangui away from the Yangtze River.

Wu Sangui thinks that the defense is tight and the arrangement is fine. Even if the enemy attacks, he can rely on the defense of the city, but in fact, things are getting farther and farther away from his ideas. In a few days, Chen Liu relied on a series of strategies to induce the guards in Xiangyang City to lose their vigilance. Then he borrowed a few soldiers from Luoyang to climb the city at night, so he successfully entered the city and opened the city of Xiangyang City. As soon as the soldiers and horses ambushed outside, Xiangyang City took it.

After taking other cities in Xiangyang City, it is easier to take them down. The soldiers and horses in Xiangyang Mansion and other places are like broken bamboo, and soon Yingshan is also broken. After the two military towns are broken, it also means that Wu Sangui's power south of the Yangtze River basically collapses.

However, the Kuilang Legion also paid a heavy price, killing and injuring a lot.

When Wu Sangui got the news, he was so angry that he vomited blood, but he was glad that the Pingbei Army did not have a navy at present, so he could not cross the Yangtze River.

When Liu Xia defeated Dorcon, he returned to Luoyang, so he personally interrogated the rebellious generals and convicted them. He emptied a large number of positions, and soon arranged them.

In terms of Shanxi, Wang Shitou attacked from Jinnan, and Yu Mingjun attacked from Jinbei. Soon, the two besieged the Taiyuan Mansion, the governance of Shanxi. At this time, there were a large number of Jin merchants in the Taiyuan Mansion, especially the eight major enemies that Liu Xia hated every day. In fact, there were many Jin merchants, but these eight were typical. The representative of.

Of course, these Jin merchants and officials also united for their own survival. They paid for money, food, and troops to defend the Taiyuan Mansion. Like an iron barrel, Wang Shitou and Yu Mingjun blocked them outside the city.
